What Causes Neck Pain?
The cervical spine is highly flexible but also vulnerable to stress and injury. Neck pain may be caused by:
- Poor posture or forward head position
- Muscle strain from prolonged computer or phone use
- Cervical joint dysfunction
- Whiplash or auto accident injuries
- Degenerative disc disease or arthritis
- Pinched nerves or cervical disc herniation
Common symptoms include:
- Stiffness or restricted range of motion
- Sharp, localized neck pain
- Headaches that originate from the neck (cervicogenic)
- Radiating pain, numbness, or tingling in the arms or hands
- Muscle tightness or spasms in the upper back and shoulders
How We Diagnose and Treat Neck Pain
Your care starts with a detailed health history, physical examination, and orthopedic testing. If needed, we use in-house digital X-rays to evaluate cervical alignment or detect underlying structural changes. For more complex cases or suspected disc injuries, we may refer for an MRI.
Treatment plans are personalized and may include:
- Chiropractic adjustments to improve cervical joint mobility
- Manual therapy and stretching for muscle tightness
- Postural retraining to correct forward head carriage
- Neck stabilization exercises to support spinal health
- Lifestyle and ergonomic coaching to reduce future strain
We use gentle, proven techniques to relieve pain and restore normal function without medications or invasive procedures.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is chiropractic care safe for neck pain?
Yes. Chiropractic adjustments for the neck are safe when performed by trained professionals. We carefully assess each patient to ensure appropriate care.
Will I need X-rays before treatment?
If your symptoms or exam findings suggest structural concerns, we can take X-rays on-site. Not every case requires imaging, and we’ll make that decision together during your evaluation.
Can chiropractic help with tension headaches or tech neck?
Absolutely. Many tension headaches and neck pain conditions are posture-related and respond very well to chiropractic care and postural correction.
